A woman received medical treatment after she was the victim
of an apparent strong-arm robbery this morning in Easton's
Centre Square.

Police responded at 10:25
a.m. and fanned out over the downtown area in search of the
suspect, according to emergency radio reports.

Shortly after 10:30,
officers could be seen talking with the victim near the fountain
before she was led to the back of an Easton Emergency Squad ambulance.

One woman who said she witnessed the incident but did not
want her named used said she saw a man snatch the woman's phone and take off
running. She believed the victim hurt
her hand in the altercation but was unsure how the injury occurred.
